surrender...
I tried to think of times I had to do this and as a result, God really blessed above and beyond. A few instances came to mind, but then I remembered others.
My pastor from many years ago had prayed about a concern and need I brought to him. He sought God's will and by mid week left a voicemail on sharing how God spoke to him and how he would change the service. I was so blessed because of his willingness to listen and change.
Then I remembered my new mom and dad. They wanted to throw their hands up so many times. They didn't and again I was blessed.
Surrender isn't about us giving up so we can gain. It's always others centered.
STOP
John 10:10 "...I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." (NIV)

"Surrender isn't about us giving up so we can gain. It's always others centered." Amen, Leigh. Surrender that is focused on what we can gain sounds a bit like manipulation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Visiting from FMF. Blessings.
